| Rennes France

After the first workshop in Barcelona, Rennes Biophotonics Workshop will be held at University Hospital of Pontchaillou (Rennes) within the "health campus" of Villejean which gathers the faculties of Medicine, Pharmacy and Odontology of the University of Rennes 1. It also offers many technology core facilities open to academia and industry, such as PRISM (functional imaging), MRic (microscopy), H2P2 (Histopathology), Neurinfo (neuroimaging), imPACcell (imaging for Cell Content Analysis) and health genomics.

Some Bio-facilities under the spot-light

Amarok Biotechnologies is a private research laboratory offering contract services for biological reagents and analytical systems validation (FDA or CE-IVD Marking), research and development, and training.

H2P2 is a research platform specialized in histopathology. Its core facility provides scientists with standard histological tools (freezing, fixation, tissue embedding, microtome and cryostat sectioning, staining, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization), as well as more advanced technology, such as laser capture micro-dissection, and tissue Micro-Array (TMA).

ImPACcell is a research platform on cellular imaging specialized in screening and functional analysis. Its core facility provides high-content cell screening / analysis (HCS / HCA) for detecting, analyzing and quantifying biological phenomena such as toxicity, cell motility, cell cycle, apoptosis, disruption of signaling pathways between cells and in small organisms.
